Cable Pulling Tension and Sidewall Pressure

Range: 0.01–100 kg/m

Use the installed cable assembly mass per metre, not the mass of a single core if the route pulls a multicore assembly.

Range: 0–10,000 m

This simplified model treats the straight run as horizontal and uses cable weight as the normal force.

Range: 0–2

Enter a value supported by the cable, conduit/tray, lubricant and pulling method. No universal Australian value is assumed.

Range: 0–100,000 N

Use the measured or planned tension at the start of this modelled segment.

Range: 0–720 degrees

Use the total angle represented by the equivalent bend. A 0° input represents no bend and returns zero sidewall pressure.

Range: 0.001–20 m

Use the effective centreline radius of the bend. Check the cable and pulling-equipment minimum radius separately.
